FlymoFraser Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Has anyone mounted their sat nav in the 7 underneath the dash above the tunnel top. If so how, any pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Not in the position you mention but mine fits neatly on top of the scuttle behind the aero to the left of the steering wheel. Slim old model Navman in this case. Doubt you could get one of the bubble backed TomTom's or the like to fit there though. Wouldn't you have terrible trouble seeing it down so low under the dash?

FlymoFraser Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Don't think I'd have problems seeing it . Thinking more of rain protection, especially given the current swampy conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted July 11, 2008 Area Representative Share Posted July 11, 2008 I use a pda type sat-nav and use velcro to hold it to the tunnel top behind the gearstick. Only glance down occasionally, usually just listen. Soon, I will need a replacement as the pda is ancient and unreliable. Democratic dissent is not disloyalty, it is a positive civic duty.

allen Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I use mine when travelling alone - bought specially for a trip last year across France. I have it mounted on the dash and it sits tucked just under the left half of the toneau - keeping the weather off and shading it from the sun. I used the corcular shiny self adheisive do-dahthat came with it. Regards, allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 My Zumo is mounted on the dash, on a small stalk that holds it high enough for me to read my dials. it works fine there and the Zumo has been truly weatherproof tested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 SatNav aka Kevin Evans is often found asking marshals at sprints for directions and you would need a fairly large aeroscreen to fit him behind 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyH Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have one mounted under the dash, in front of the gear stick. Used a selection of parts from RAM Mounts to do it. Only dead fish go with the flow....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKB Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Mine sits comfortably in the passenger seat but continues to confuse left with right and keeps telling me that I drive too fast 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guilleracing Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 My sat nav is a TOM TOM Rider for a motorcycle WATERPROOF I have fitted is to a suction cup and it lives on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlymoFraser Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Cagey That sounds more like it What part of the car does it actually attach to? the tunnel top or somewhere up under/ behind the dash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Ram mounts:here & here. I've used this here to attach to the lower rail of the dash. Blatmail me if you want to buy it off me as I now use a sucker attachment to my carbon dash. Edited by - Mick Day on 12 Jul 2008 12:27:53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkprincess Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 With no 'screen I've managed to adapt a circular table saw adjusting spanner, drilled through the toughened metal three holes at then open end and secured it to the spa mirror stanchion. Then the other end has a bigger hole to secure the existing screw mounting to the satnav. It sits away from the dash so all the gauges can be seen easily. Amazingly it stays virtually shake free. As it's exposed to the elements it has a Proporta rubber skin specifically designed for my model (Tomtom 700). It's been blasted by bugs going to Le Mans and soaked through coming back from Spa, and it still works fine. RW04FUN RW08FUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlymoFraser Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Cagey Aha, penny has dropped, thanks Mick, interesting solution and thanks for the offer but I'll pass , and anyway looks like you have another buyer anyway. Thanks everyone for the responses. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 25, 2014 Member Share Posted March 25, 2014 How about this one for my preferred position: below the dash on the far side of the gearstick? That should keep the 'phone dry and beyond my near point... Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian B Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Holy old thread resurrection Batman! Windscreen suction mount, and a clear plastic bag with twist-it for when it gets torrential. Although I would usually have put the half hood on if it's bad so only had to use the bag once I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
